Fun-filled sightseeing day in Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica - Our tour guide - Jeanette - was funny and knowledgeable. She took us on little hidden side streets to see some famous movie houses, chatted with all the guests, and navigated traffic like a champ. Every stop was gorgeous and interesting: the observatory, the Hollywood sign, Hollywood Blvd, Santa Monica pier, etc etc. The Anaheim pick up spot was a 5 min walk from our hotel (Anaheim Resort Suites) which was very convenient. We appreciated the recommendations for lunch at The Farmers Market and directions on Hollywood Blvd. I would 100% recommend if you’re looking for a day of sightseeing.

A day of magic - from Sand to Stardom - If you're looking for the ultimate way to see the best of Los Angeles in a single day, I can't recommend this bus tour enough. Our journey began bright and early in Santa Monica, where the salty air and vibrant energy of the pier set the perfect tone for the day. It was a great starting point, offering a glimpse of classic Southern California beach life before we even boarded the bus. Our first stop was a short ride away at Venice Beach. Walking along the boardwalk was an experience in itself—we saw street performers, quirky shops, and artists at work. The contrast between the relaxed, bohemian vibe of Venice and the polished glamour we were about to see later was truly striking. From the coast, our tour took us to the heart of luxury in Beverly Hills. Rodeo Drive was just as magnificent as you’d imagine. While we didn't buy anything, the shopping time was perfect for window shopping and soaking in the atmosphere of high-end fashion and stunning architecture. It felt like stepping into a movie. The most breathtaking part of the tour, for me, was the visit to Griffith Park and the Observatory. The panoramic views of the city were simply incredible. On a clear day, you can see for miles, and it’s a moment that really makes you appreciate the vastness of LA. The Observatory itself is a landmark worth seeing, both for its history and its views. We wrapped up our epic day in Hollywood, which was the perfect grand finale. Seeing the famous Hollywood sign looming in the distance from Hollywood Boulevard was a thrill. We walked along the Hollywood Walk of Fame, searching for our favorite stars, and I loved seeing the handprints and footprints of cinema legends at the TCL Chinese Theatre. It truly felt like we were walking in the footsteps of history. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and kept the energy high throughout the entire trip. The bus was comfortable and well-maintained, making the long day of travel easy. This tour is a fantastic way to hit all the major highlights without the stress of navigating LA traffic yourself. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting for the first time!

A Day in LA Tours - a must for visitors to LA - Today, Mother’s Day 2025, my wife and I spent the day on a 'Day in LA Tours' tour, called ‘Full Day Iconic Sights of LA’. This was a seven hours plus tour that took us to every sight a tourist visiting LA wants, no, has to see! The locations and the time allotted to each stop was just right. The company picked us up on time and kept on time the whole day. And, let’s not forget our driver, Jeff. Jeff was professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and a whole lot of fun. It’s was a great tour, a great dat spent on a tour by people who know what they are doing. I highly recommend A Day in LA Tours and the Full Day Iconic Sights of LA tour.

Excellent Tour of Highlights of LA, Beverly Hills, Hollywood and Surrounding Areas. Highly Recommend!! - Our driver and guide was Jeff and he was awesome!! The bus picked us up at our hotel at exactly the right time. We got a brochure that explained every stop and the highlights of each stop along with a map of every stop so we could make sure to see what was important to us at each stop. We visited Monterey, Venice, Beverly Hills, the Farmers Market for lunch, Hollywood, the Sunset Strip, the Griffith Observatory, and the Walk of Fame and many places in between. Jeff was so knowledgeable about each area, stories of people and places, and played songs about each area. It honestly could not have been better!! Bottled water was provided all day. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes. We learned so much in one day. I would highly recommend this tour!!!

We have seen a lot - George - our guide was a great fun. Two things I would like to mention: - the observatory was still closed when we got there - the Hollywood sign looks much more closer on the web advertisement than in a real life, which was disappointing. We would return, as it saved lots of driving and pick from the hotel was soo much appreciated,
